Question
2. A second assumption in this experiment relates to the specific heat capacity of the solution. We will assume the specific heat capacity of the solution is dominated by the specific heat of water. As a result, a value of 4.184 J(g °C) will be used for the specific heat capacity of the solution IfMgO is added to 28.9 g of 3M HCI solution in a coffee cup calorimeter, the temperature of the resulting solution increases from 20.4 °C to 32.0 °C. With the assumption above in place, what is qsoln for this reaction. Record your response in kJExplanation / Answer
Q2
Apply heat equation for the "solution" of HCl
mass = 28.9 g
C = of water
dT = from dat agiven
Qsolution = m*C*(Tf-Ti)
Qsolution = 28.9*4.184*(32-20.4)
Qsolution = 1402.644 J
Qsolution = 1.402 kJ
positive, since it is increasing in temperature
